PAM 786B (PAM602)

[noserman]

Hello at all,
in the next days I'll buy my first panerai's rep. I chose this one from Ryan:
https://www.intime01.co/panerai/280...best-edition-on-blue-leather-strap-p5000.html
What I'd know is: I have to do some service when the watch arrives? its the first time that I see this movement.
I hope you can help me! And I'm sorry if there is another 3rd on this topic but in that case I didn't see it.

It's an Asian clone of a Unitas / ETA movement. Some people like to get any rep serviced right away. I would just wear it and enjoy it until there is a problem which could be years.

Good choice! I forgot I had my eyes on this one at a time.. But seeing that it technically has the A6497 movement, you’re good to go without a service. They’re amazing even when coming out of China.

Only movement I’d worry about is the A7750 used in most auto PAMs with seconds sub dial at 6.

Thanks a lot! I heard that on some movement you have to do service and since I never had this movement I was worried about it.
